President Donald Trump is keeping up with his Twitter freakouts amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. This Friday morning, among other points, he glibly noted that the stock market had seen one of its best four day stretches in decades in terms of gains in value — but he conveniently left out the part of the historic crashes that made those gains possible. Even after the historic gains that he singled out, the Dow Jones Industrial Index alone remained around 5,500 points in value below its mid-February high late this week. Trump’s ignorance doesn’t end there — this Friday morning, he also retweeted a message in which some Twitter user called Democrats “evil people,” indicating just how far off into the deep end of his self-obsession that Trump has really gone.
He tweeted:
‘This week, in only 4 days, we had the biggest Stock Market increase since 1974. We have a great chance for the really big bounce when the Invisible Enemy is gone!’

Trump is focusing on that economic bounceback even as the death toll grows and grows. Recently, he even insisted that the horrors of the virus “must be quickly forgotten.” Imagine if any other president admonished Americans to forget any other disaster with a death toll even close to that of the Coronavirus.
Once we OPEN UP OUR GREAT COUNTRY, and it will be sooner rather than later, the horror of the Invisible Enemy, except for those that sadly lost a family member or friend, must be quickly forgotten. Our Economy will BOOM, perhaps like never before!!!

Trump continued:
‘Democrats are blocking a 251 Billion Dollar funding boost for Small Businesses which will help them keep their employees. It should be for only that reason, with no additions. We should have a big Infrastructure Phase Four with Payroll Tax Cuts & more. Big Economic Bounceback!’

Congress must go back to DEDUCTIBILITY by businesses if Restaurants, Clubs & Entertaiment is expected to flourish (like never before)!

It is incorrect to suggest that Democrats are themselves blocking a funding boost for small businesses, plain and simple. In fact, Republicans are also blocking a funding boost, because both sides came up with a plan that got shot down amidst ongoing tension.
Yet, the president continued. He even proclaimed that Democrats were “evil” for blocking his supposedly great and awesome plans for America.
